I step on the scale every day.
I know the experts say you shouldn't. But I just can't help myself. Good news or bad, I need to know.
And I have a second confession.
Recently the news has been bad. Very bad.
Ten pounds bad.
Usually I wallow quietly in my own self pity and try to resist the bag of chips in the cabinet, all the while telling myself I'll be good tomorrow. Well, so far that hasn't worked. So this time I'm trying a different approach. I'm telling everyone here that I plan to lose those 10 pounds.
Why 10, you ask? Well, I'm not willing to give you my goal weight (or my current weight) But I will tell you that 10 pounds will get me to a weight that ends in zero. And it will give me a Body Mass Index of 20.4 -- 18.5 to 24.9 is considered normal weight -- down from my current BMI of 21.6.
This isn't the first year my New Year's resolution has been to lose weight. Four years ago my friend and I sat in my living room and resolved to lose weight. That year we each lost about 25 pounds between January and April. That's when I had to go off The Diet (as we've come to call it) because I got pregnant with Gregory.
How did we do it? The diet isn't so much a diet as a healthy approach to life. I'll monitor my calories and keep my daily intake between 1200 and 1500 Sunday through Friday (Saturday is cheat day, but I still don't go crazy). I'll drink 64+ oz. of water. I'll post here some tips and recipes when I find things that work for me.
I'll also recommit myself to exercise. I'll workout harder when I go to the gym. And I'll look for other ways to sneak in some exercise -- taking bike rides, dancing with the kids, etc.
Check back to see how I'm doing -- I'll try to post updates regularly. And I can use all the support I can get!
